The more that goes down, the less that gets up

Irresponsible drinking can have negative effects not only on your health, but on your love life as well. Whilst drinking is great fun and can help you loosen up whilst socializing, as it helps you to lose your inhibitions and fears, it can also make you overlook certain things that you wouldn't ordinarily do. A good example is the failure to use condoms whilst engaging in intimate relations, particularly if your partner is someone that you've just met at the local sports bar. If you do choose to engage in intercourse with someone other than a long term partner be sure to make sure both of you are protected. Alcohol also affects men in quite different ways to women.

Most men are aware that too much alcohol can reduce their ability to get an erection and if this does happen to you, regardless of how understanding she might appear to be, chances are it's not going to be anything less than embarrassing. For anyone who is going out for a few drinks and also has the intention of picking up a casual partner for the evening, it's important to remember to take a few condoms with you as it's everybody's responsibility to make sure that they not only respect their own health, but also the health of those that they are intimate with. Having a few too many is no excuse for not practicing safe intimate relations so next time you go out for a few drinks make sure you're covered.
